The turning of couple - class-XII
Covers the concept of couples in mechanics, including properties, effects, applications, and torque calculations.
Questions
Which of the following is/are the properties of moment of a couple?
- It tends to produce pure rotation.
- It is different about any point in the plane of lines of action of the forces.
- It can be replaced by any other couple of the same moment.
- The resultant of set of two or more couples is equal to the sum of the moments of the individual couples.
Two like parallel forces $20\ N$ and $30\ N$ act at the ends $A$ and $B$ of a rod $1.5\ m$ long. The resultant of the forces will act at the point:
- $90\ cm$ from A
- $75\ cm$ from B
- $20\ cm$ from B
- $85\ cm$ from A
Two small kids weighing 10kg and 15kg are trying to balance a seesaw of total length 5m with the fulcrum at the centre. If one of the kids is sitting at an end, the other should sit at
- 1.7 m from the centre
- 2.5 m from the centre
- 2 m from the centre
- 1 m from the centre
A couple produces
- Linear motion
- Rotational motion
- Both $A$ and $B$
- Nether $A$ nor $B$
A couple is acting on a two particle systems. The resultant motion will be
- Purely rotational motion
- Purely linear motion
- Both $A$ and $B$
- None of these
A couple can never be replaced by a single force.
- True
- False
A couple produces,_____
- pure rotation
- pure translation
- rotation and translation
- no motion
In case of torque of a couple, if the axis is changed by displacing it parallel to itself, torque will
- Increase
- Decrease
- Remain constant
- None of these
A couple produces :
- no motion
- linear and rotational motion
- purely rotational motion
- purely linear motion
While opening a tap with two fingers, the forces applied by the fingers are:
- equal in magnitude
- parallel to each other
- opposite in direction
- all the above
$ML^2T^{-2}$ is the dimensional formula for
- moment of inertia
- pressure
- elasticity
- couple acting on a body
An automobile engine develops $100$ $kW$ when rotating at a speed of $1800\ rev/min$. The torque it delivers is
- $3.33\ N-m$
- $200\ N-m$
- $530.5\ N-m$
- $2487\ N-m$
